INTRODUCTION


This weekly assignment was basicly the same as last week, except that the theme was totally different.
This week we were going to create a short animation movie, were we was supposed to use one of two scenarios. From a selection of a person sitting by a table waiting for someone, or a person sitting on a bench nervous, I choosed the last one.




THE ASSIGNMENT

When I started on this assignment I had to figure out how I wanted my animation. There are several movements that is really really important to get in the scene, to actually have the movie to look interesting. 
We learned a lot of this in our classes this week, and I tried to use it as best as I could, combined with the time we actually had to do the assignment. I choosed to use the nervous/bored person as my assignment task. I started off by doing a simple environment, because it gives the scene a little more life. After I had done the environment, I started to make my reference. I choosed to do a reference of myself because I couldn't find a good one on the internet. I asked our teacher for some feedback on both the reference and my main poses(blocking), to actually get what I wanted and what should be in the final scene. This animation required movement in a still position, which was pretty hard to get as I wanted. I tried as best as I could to use my time in the best way, and to get my poses as I had them in my reference. All that I learned this week will be used as good experience for the upcoming assignments.

SELF EVALUATION


This assignment was a challenging task to do. This because we had to do an interesting animation with a character sitting down the whole scene. I feel that there is a lot to tweake and do different in my final submission, but in another way, I feel that I did the best I could in the period of time we had. Honestly, I feel that there is just experience to take with me further on into this amazing course. We haven't had that lot of animation yet, and is just in the learning curve to get the basics, that's why we have different settings the following weeks, to get the basic animation rules and learn a lot to use in our 3 week project at the end of this semester. I feel that my final scene turned out pretty well, though there are a lot of things that could have been done different, but that is how I gain experience. We have had our feedback together in class and I think that it is a good way give the students the feedback, because the teacher can show things on the whiteboard, and explain why it should be like that or not like that. If someone have got an very good idea of something in their submission, they can share it with the other students as well, trough the teacher. 





My character sheet is going like this:


SITTING OUTSIDE PRINCIPALS OFFICE

'' This is SO boring''

''I really hope my parents are not in there with the principal''

DOOR OPENS

'' I think I heard my name''

INTRODUCTION


This weekly assignment was to create a short animation of a character pushing or lifting a heavy box.
Many challenges, but all over very exiting task!




THE ASSIGNMENT

When I started on this assignment I had in mind to actually do the lifting task, BUT after some tryouts, I decided to change over to push instead. The reason was because I couldn't do the thing I had in mind to do, but with the pushing I did what I had in mind. There were a lot of things to take in concideration when I did this assignment. The weight and line of action was some of them.

SELF EVALUATION


This assignment was a challenge for me to do. It was a short week, but I stayed at school both thursday and friday to get it done the best way I could. I have a lot to learn when it comes to animation, and I really want to learn a lot more about it. Animation isn't my strongest side, but I will work hard to learn this properly.
Somebody needs more time than others, but that is no blocking wall for me. Over all I think my animation turned out to a OK result. I could have done a lot more to polish the finished result, but we had one week, and for me and my experience, I choosed to not mess it up more than nescessary. I am aware of the problems and things to fix im this assignment, so I will definetly fix that on my sparetime. Not because I probably have to, but because I really want to explore it more on my time off.




Here is my finished result of this assignment:
